I see so much of myself in Sana, because as a POC/minority it is difficult enough feeling different or like an outsider let alone having to explain yourself like your beliefs and culture or why you can or cannot do certain things. growing up and even now, it always feels like I am the one asking for too much just for my friends to understand - like I am being a burden. it’s partly the reason why I never really learnt how to express my emotions because it never felt like anyone was listening.

it’s so much more complicated than telling someone to find better friends because it’s almost like you take what you can get? for example, all the girls in the girl squad are inherently nice people and at least you’d have people to hang around with, so you just bear with their occasional ignorance for the sake of it.
